EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Iranian island of Ormuz or Hormuz, a significant stop on the route to the Indies during the 16th century. The image is derived from an engraving found in the renowned atlas "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" by Braun and Hogenberg, published in 1580. The island of Ormuz holds great historical importance as a strategic location for trade and commerce between Europe and Asia. Situated in the Middle East, this enchanting piece of land served as a vital hub for merchants traveling to distant lands. The intricate details captured in this print invite viewers to step back in time and imagine bustling markets filled with exotic goods from all corners of the world. The architecture depicted reflects both Persian influences and European styles that were prevalent during that era. As we admire this remarkable artwork, it is evident that Giancarlo Costa has skillfully preserved its essence through his photography. This particular print evokes a sense of wonderment about ancient civilizations, their interconnectedness, and their desire for exploration. Through this image, we are reminded of how history shapes our present-day world. It serves as a testament to human curiosity, resilience, and our unending quest for knowledge across borders and oceans.
